Answer to Problem 15.11P
Debit | Credit | |
Cash | $110,000 | |
Goodwill | 10,000 | |
W’s capital account | 120,000 |
Explanation of Solution
Estimation of goodwill
As W is investing for 25 percent of interest which is 1/4th of total capital then
¾ estimated total resulting capital = $360,000
Estimated total resulting capital ($360,000 ÷ ¾) = $480,000
Determination of goodwill
Estimated total resulting capital = $480,000
Less: total assets excluding goodwill
($360,000 + 110,000 W’s investment) = ($470,000)
Goodwill =$10,000

Inventory | 60,000 | |
To record admission of W | ||
Cash | $100,000 | |
W’s capital account | 100,000 |
Explanation of Solution
Determination of write down of inventory
¼ estimated total resulting $100,000
Estimated total resulting capital ($100,000 ÷ ¼) $400,000
Inventory write down =
Estimated total resulting capital = $400,000
Total net assets before inventory write-down $360,000 + $100,000 W’s investment = ($460,000)
Inventory write-down=($60,000)
Value of inventory debit to D’s capital ($60,000 x .60) = $36,000
M’s capital ($60,000 x .40) = $24,000

Entry for revaluation of land | ||
Land account | $200,000 | |
D’s capital account | 120,000 | |
M’s capital account | 80,000 | |
To record admission of W | ||
D’s capital account | $80,000 | |
M’s capital account | 60,000 | |
W’s capital account | 140,000 |
Explanation of Solution
Estimation of total capital
¼ of estimated total capital ($80,000 + $60,000) = $140,000
Estimated total resulting capital ($140,000 ÷ ¼) = $560,000
Estimation of increase in land value
Total estimated resulting capital = $560,000
Less: total net asset before revaluation of land
($200,000 + 160,000) (360,000)
Increase in land $200,000
D’s share in the increase in land value $200,000 x .60 = $120,000
M’s share in the increase in land value $200,000 x .40 = 80,000
